Defense Dances Click, Coeds Shun Date Idea By BARBARA YOUNGER and BETTY ANN STEVENS (Editor’s note: This is third in a series of surveys which are being conducted on the campus through scientifically-deter mined cross-sections.) When all but one of the students surveyed said that they would prefer buying stamps and bonds through dances such as the Senior ball rather than buying them when solicited or when there were drives on the campus, they expressed their whole-hearted approval of the Senior ball committee’s plan. The question asked was “which way would you rather purchase defense bonds and stamps? 1. Drives on the campus. 2. Direct soliciting. 3. Dances such as the Senior ball. Dances Favored One hundred per cent <$f the men were in favor of paying through dances. Ninety-three and one-third per cent of the women were also in favor of dances tvhile only 62-3 per cent were in favor of solicita tion. One of the students said that he thought that the student body should put on a “smoker" with wrestling and boxing. Feminine vanity is still queen of the Oregon campus. The girls say that even though there are more women than men on the campus, they don’t want to ask the men to go out. The men, for the most part and with a Uto pian gleam in their eyes, say that the idea has great possibilities. Women Daters The question asked was, “If there are more men than women on the campus next year, do you think that the women should ask the men to go out?” Sixty-six and two-thirds of the men approved; 33 1-3 per cent did not. Six and two-third per cent of the girls approved; 93 1-3 per cent did not. When asked his opinion . one student merely looked bewild question.” Another male student sighed and said, “I’ve always wanted a harem.” A freshman woman said that the girls do it anyway.

'Lieutenant to Describe Coast Guard Cadet Life Robert H. Prause, lieutenant junior grade, U. S. coast guard, will describe the life of cadets at the coast guard academy Wednesday at 4 p.m. in the lecture room of the P. E. building. The meeting, designed for all men interested in this branch of the service, was originally scheduled for January 28. This program is a prelude to the 1942 competitive examina tions for appointments to the academy at New London, Con necticut, to be given May 13. Lieutenant Prause stated Mon day that about 250 cadets will be taken by the coast guard this year. This is about two times the enrolled number, and is made necessary by the rushing of grad uations during the present emer gency. Examination will be open to men between the ages of 11 and 22 years. The course is basically scientific and engineering. The film will describe opportunities for enlistment and picture the academy.

Evans Leads Gleemen To Encores in Concert By BOB FOWELLS Under the skilled baton of John Stark Evans, the Eugene Gleemen sang themselves proud last night at their concert in McArthur court. The chorus was encored for its stirring rendition of Sibelius' “Onward Ye Peoples,” in which it was augmented by a brass quartet from the University band. The highlight of their sacred group was the Bach chorale, “Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” Verne Sellin, violin soloist, re ceived an ovation for his playing of the "Romance” from the Wieniawski D-minor concerto. He gave two encores, "Liebesfreud" by Kriesler, and "Perpetual Mo tion” by Bohm. Stage Lighting In the group titled "Songs by Firelight,” in which the stage was lighted with red and blue lights, the audience especially applauded “Bendemere’s Stream” in which Robert Johnson sang the baritone solo, and "Summertime” from Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess,” a quartet sung by Fred Beardsley, Yawrence Celsi, Laurie Pratt, and Willis Johnson. The program end ed with Mr. Evans’ arrangement of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” also accompanied by the brass quartet. Cowboy Melody Something new to the usual choral program was the “Trail, to Mexico,” a cowboy melody with, a rhythm suggestive of a horse jog. Another •well received, light number was the Finnish folk song, “Tulatulla.” Mr. Evans and the Gleemen are to be congratulated on their beau tiful work, their diction, and pre cise attacks.
